Shang Yue finally agreed to go back to the Prince Regent's Mansion to have a detailed discussion with the Princess. He was not really so willing to help Luo Junyao, he was just curious about what the Princess Regent wanted to do.
If he doesn't think it's possible after talking about it, the worst he can do is simply run over and deliver a letter to her. Anyway, he hasn't decided yet what he wants to do in the future.
The Princess Regent was right, Jianghu...or should I say Wenjian Pavilion was not a place where he would stay for a long time.
Because of Shang Yue's status, even though he has outstanding talents, the master of Wenjian Pavilion has never regarded him as a successor.
And he has always had a good relationship with his brothers and sisters in Wenjian Pavilion. This time the Dingyang Hou Mansion got into a lot of trouble, but none of the Wenjian Pavilion disciples who followed Shang Yue to Yongshan left midway. They were all waiting for Dingyang.
After the funeral of Marquis Yang was done and everything was settled, he rushed back to celebrate the New Year.
If possible, Shang Yue doesn't want to ruin the relationship with his senior brothers because of these mundane things.
Shang Yue sat at the window and watched the two people holding hands as they left. Then he looked at the bustling and bright streets outside the window, and finally sighed quietly.
Even though he grew up in the world of martial arts, Shangyong is his root.
One day, he will come back.
When the two returned to Liushang Pavilion, it was already midnight and the lantern festival was coming to an end.
Seeing the two people coming back, Princess Chang Zhao and Princess Chang Ling also breathed a sigh of relief. Princess Chang Ling smiled and said, "I thought you just went back home."
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "How could it be? I am not such a person who has a head but no tail."
In fact, it doesn't matter even if Luo Junyao goes back directly, after all, today's lantern festival is not hosted by the Prince Regent's Palace.
Princess Changling glanced at the two of them with a half-smile but said, "Where did you two run to?"
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Nanshi."
Princess Changling nodded her eyebrows and said, "I will not participate in the nice lantern festival in the garden and run outside."
Luo Junyao said: "If I can bring Ayan to participate, of course I don't have to run out." Isn't this inconvenient?
"..."
Princess Changzhao stood behind her eldest sister and laughed out loud when she heard the words and said: "Okay, sister, the young couple are still newlyweds. What's wrong if they want to go out for a lantern festival by themselves? Even if we can in this garden
Are you going to go shopping together and not be stared at like a monkey?"
"..." Princess Changzhao, although you seem to be speaking for me, you don't need to say the last sentence.
Princess Changling also smiled and said, "By the way, you just got married not long ago. Well, the lantern festival is almost over, let's prepare to see off the guests."
Luo Junyao immediately became interested, "Have you given the gifts we prepared?"
Princess Changling said somewhat meaningfully: "In previous years, I didn't attend the lantern festival and had to give gifts. Don't worry, Mr. Zhang is ready."
"Then after seeing off the guests, go home quickly. If anyone knocks on the door tonight, don't open it." Luo Junyao said.
The two princesses looked at each other, and then looked at Luo Junyao in unison: Is what you gave me a gift, or is it something that seeks wealth and harm?
The residence of a powerful person in Shangyong.
After attending the lantern festival, the mother-in-law returned to the house with her daughter, daughter-in-law and all the maids. It wasn't until she sat down that the grace and dignity on her face took off, revealing a hint of fatigue.
The little daughter squeezed to her side and sat down. She looked curiously at the box held by the girl on the side and said, "Mom, Princess Taihua has prepared a gift for everyone. I wonder what it is?" Her bright eyes were full of curiosity.
.
The daughter-in-law standing next to her was also a little curious and said: "It seems that every noble daughter in the family has one. Is it probably a gadget for my sister?"
The mistress of the house raised her hand and rubbed her brows and said to the maid next to her: "After all, it is a gift from Princess Taihua. No matter what it is, it must be kept well." She knew in her heart that it was probably not a precious thing. After all, she was attending the lantern festival tonight.
There are many noble ladies, and if everyone has one share, it is not a small sum of money.
"Thank you, mother, for teaching me. My daughter knows." The girl responded obediently.
The girl put the brocade box gently on the table and carefully opened the box to reveal the contents.
It is indeed not a precious thing. What is inside the box is a finely carved sandalwood fan. Exquisite and beautiful hollow landscape patterns are carved on the fine white sandalwood, and there is also an exquisite fan pendant.
For ordinary people, this may be a rare treasure, but for the powerful nobles of Shangyong, it is indeed not a valuable thing. But it is enough to give it to these noble ladies who have not left the court.
The girl really liked it, took it in her hand and played with it carefully, and said with a smile: "It's so beautiful, but it's a pity that it's not suitable for use now."
Her mother smiled and took the sandalwood fan from her daughter's hand and said, "This is the best white sandalwood. It will be good to take it out and play with it in a few months."
"Mom, there seems to be another post." The daughter-in-law next to her reminded me.
The mother and daughter looked over together, and sure enough they saw a post in the brocade box.
The girl picked up the post and opened it, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"What's wrong?"
The girl handed the post to her mother, who looked at it with a strange look on her face and was speechless for a long time.
The daughter-in-law felt more and more strange when she saw this, so she also went over to take a look.
On the post with lavender and gold background, Jun Xiu's tall and straight handwriting was very beautiful, but the content represented by the handwriting made people not sure what to say for a while.
Dear New Year students of Anlan College:
Anlan Academy will be officially opened on the fifth day of February. At that time, the academy will make the following adjustments: Anlan Academy will still retain Linglong Academy and Martial Arts Academy, and will add a medical school, Tianji Academy, Business School, and Agricultural College. The new colleges will be oriented to Shangyong.
Noble girls and Dasheng are all girls over the age of twelve and under the age of seventeen. Students of the former Linglong Academy Martial Arts Academy can transfer to the new academy according to their own wishes. Attached is the following: Curriculum and teacher descriptions for each academy.
The signatures are Luo Junyao, the mountain chief of Anlan Academy, and Zhang Jingyu, the deputy mountain chief and president of the Martial Arts Academy.
There was silence in the room. After a while, the girl whispered: "Princess Regent has become the head of the mountain?" The voice sounded a bit erratic. She and the Princess Regent had studied together, although they were not in the same college. But now she still
The students of Linglong Academy are all grown ups.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The mother's voice is much more serious, not only the voice but also her expression, "The important thing is not that the regent princess is the mountain chief." The head of the Anlan Academy
The position is indeed beautiful, but it also needs to be able to convince the public. Although the Princess Regent has difficulty convincing the public, her status can.
What really shocked them was the meaning conveyed by this overly straightforward and simple post.
Tianji, medicine, business, agriculture? What are these?!
Let’s not talk about the Tianji Academy for now. Are the remaining three things a noble girl from aristocratic families should learn?
Also, this post says that Anlan Academy will admit Dasheng girls of all ages?
Doesn’t that mean that their girls have to sit and study with those common women?! How can I tolerate this!
The mother stood up suddenly and said: "No, I will go to your father to tell you about this!"
The girl didn't think this matter was very important, but was very interested in what was written above.
Seeing that her mother seemed to be angry, she persuaded her, "It's already very late. Why don't you talk to me tomorrow?"
Her mother said angrily: "How can we wait? This must not be done! If the Regent's Palace insists on such ridiculous behavior, you will stay at home! Our girls must not sit with those civilian girls, they will not be humiliated.
Your identity has given you bad habits!"
After saying that, she walked away angrily. The girl looked at her mother's leaving figure and felt a little unhappy, "Oh."
She originally wanted to tell her mother that it would be more interesting to learn some medical skills than to play the piano and write poems in Linglong Hospital.
That night, Luo Junyao slept peacefully, but all the dignitaries in Shangyonghuang City were upset.
In fact, it was originally just a women's academy and should not have caused such a big disturbance. But the problem is that the history of Anlan Academy is too special, and Luo Junyao's identity is equally special.
Luo Junyao wants to restore the former Anlan Academy. In the eyes of many men, this is not just a matter of the education of their daughters, nor is it a matter of their wealthy daughter sitting with a commoner woman, but that there are women who want to challenge men.
authority.
Compared with the latter, the first two are minor problems.
The so-called distinction between nobility and disgrace is not worth mentioning in front of the latter. Dasheng is not the kind of era background where there are no poor families in the upper class and no noble families in the lower class. There are many people who work as farmhouse ministers in the morning and ascend to the emperor's hall in the evening. The so-called nobility and lowliness,
There is room for change.
but……
It is not within the scope of their tolerance to allow women who are supposed to support their husbands and raise children at home to snatch the power that belongs to men.
You want to know how much time and effort they spent to suppress Anlan Academy?
If Anlan Academy had not had such a special status in the previous dynasty, and if the Empress Dowager and many old ladies of this dynasty had not studied at Anlan Academy, Anlan Academy would have ceased to exist long ago, and where would it be now?
Luo Junyao had just gotten up to have breakfast when the message asking for an audience was already sent to him.
Luo Junyao looked at the thick stack of no less than ten posts held in the hands of the manager and asked, "Are they all looking for me?"
The steward nodded, "The prince went to court early. These are all for the princess to see. They were delivered at dawn."
Luo Junyao didn't bother to look, and just asked: "Who is there?"
The steward obviously looked at them one by one, and reported respectfully: "Returning to the princess, there are Mrs. Cheng'enhou, Mrs. Anguo Gongfu, Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Mrs. Ling'an Hou, Mrs. Taichang Bo, and the old lady admonishing the doctor...
"
After hearing this, Luo Junyao nodded and said: "It's not bad, the old ladies from the Chengguo Duke's Mansion and the Lu State Duke's Mansion didn't come, and no one from the clan came either."
The steward smiled and said: "Those two old ladies are both smart people, and they were also heroic women when they were young. As for the clan... they naturally listen to the princess."
"Listen to me? That's not the case." Luo Jun said.
She is not so self-righteous yet. The reason why the clan does not want to come forward is probably to check the situation first. After all, among the current royal family members who are closest to Xie Yan, apart from the family of Prince Mu'an and the two married princesses, only An Cheng
The prince of the county and the prince of Kangcheng, who is in charge of the clan mansion.
Prince Ancheng was the cousin of Gaozu, and Prince Kangcheng was separated by several generations. As for the other people named Xie, they were only named Xie. They followed Gaozu and got an inconspicuous title.
Xie Yan even dared to kill Gaozu's biological son and younger brother at his request. How many of them dared to offend him?
Luo Junyao instantly felt the benefits of Xie Yan's reputation.
"Princess, do you want them to go back?" the steward asked.
Luo Jun waved his hand and said: "Everyone's post has been delivered to your door. It's not a problem to refuse to see them. When people come, please go to the warmth room in front. Don't freeze the old man. I'll see you when everyone is here."
"
The manager responded respectfully, showing great admiration for his princess's ambition to challenge such a difficult task.
When Mrs. Chengenhou, who was the first to arrive, was sitting in the warm pavilion and drinking five or six cups of tea, all the ladies who sent the posts today finally arrived.
The ladies who were placed in the warm pavilion to drink tea couldn't help but look at each other. Except for Mrs. Chengenhou, who brought two ladies with whom she had good relations with her in-laws, the others originally came alone.
Unexpectedly, the regent princess actually gathered them together. Are you planning to meet them together?
Luo Junyao did not keep them waiting for long. Less than half a quarter of an hour after the last lady sat down, Luo Junyao appeared at the door. This made Mrs. Chengenhou, who had drank a lot of water, couldn't help but hold back her resentment.
"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long." Luo Jun, who was wearing only aqua blue clothes, greeted everyone with a smile as the maid behind him took off the cloak on her shoulders.
Everyone stood up quickly and said, "I have seen the Princess Regent."
Luo Jun waved his hand, "No need to be polite, please take a seat."
Everyone thanked them and sat down again. Luo Junyao also walked to the main seat and sat down.
"I'm a little flattered that it's so lively just after the Chinese New Year." Luo Junyao said with a smile, "I wonder what the ladies are doing for coming here?"
Why, don’t you know?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Mrs. Chengenhou looked at Luo Junyao and said with a sullen face: "Don't you know why we came, Princess?"
Luo Junyao said: "Madam, if you don't tell me, how will I know?"
Mrs. Chengenhou took a deep breath and said: "We received a message last night, but we haven't congratulated the princess on becoming the new headmaster of Anlan Academy."
Mrs. Chengenhou was also very dissatisfied with this matter. She knew that the headmaster of Anlan Academy intended to resign, and she had some thoughts of her own. However, she did not expect that he would resign quietly. Not only that, but she would directly push Luo Jun away.
He took up the position of Academy Headmaster.
Mrs. Chengenhou is not interested in Anlan Academy, she is only interested in the title of the Headmaster of Anlan Academy. After all, she can be regarded as the teacher of all the ladies who studied in the academy. Although she has no real power, if she sits
Who wouldn't give some face to the Cheng'enhou Mansion in this position?
As for what needs to be done in this position, Mrs. Chengenhou is not interested.
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Thank you. In fact, I feel that I am too young to be qualified. However, the mountain leader and Dean Zhang strongly invited me, so I had no choice but to give it a try."
Chengen Houfu's face darkened slightly, but he still wanted to maintain the superficial peace, and his expression was a little strange for a moment.
"The princess is still young after all. We all know the three things this new official does when she takes office. But isn't it inappropriate for the princess to drastically change the original order of Anlan Academy as soon as she takes office?"
Luo Junyao asked sincerely: "What's wrong?"
The lady sitting next to Mrs. Chengenhou described herself as emaciated and looked very serious, and her face seemed a bit mean. She said in a deep voice: "The princess said that she would recruit all the wealthy women. If this happens... wouldn't it mean that our girls and those
Country girls sitting together? Our girls are all well-bred ladies who have been carefully raised since childhood. How can we be in the same room with those vulgar women? If they teach us bad things, it will not be just a family. Please think twice, Princess.
"
Luo Junyao tilted his head slightly and looked at the old woman who was speaking, "Mrs. Zou? If this princess remembers correctly, Dr. Jianyi also came from a rural background, and he and the old woman can be regarded as a young couple who have shared joys and sorrows together."
"Princess, what do you mean?!" The old woman's face suddenly changed, as if she had been insulted.
Luo Junyao continued: "My father also came from a rural background, and my grandmother was a country woman who never went to school. The old woman wants to say what bad habits they have. This princess, the daughter of a country man,
Not worthy of sitting with you?"
Although Mrs. Luo's character is indeed a bit difficult to describe, does the old lady who is admonishing the doctor in front of me dare to say it clearly?
"My wife has no such intention, why should the princess misinterpret it!" Mrs. Zou said angrily with a livid face.
Luo Junyao asked: "What does the old lady mean?"
"I……"
Seeing that Mrs. Zou was speechless, Mrs. Zou, who was sitting opposite her and looked much kinder, quickly smiled and said: "Princess, you misunderstood, Mrs. Zou didn't mean that. We are just worried, the academy is so big after all, so what?"
Can it accommodate all the girls in Da Sheng who want to study? If there are too many people, something will inevitably happen, which will not be good for the prince and princess."
Luo Junyao said: "Madam, you are over-concerned. Although I say that I am recruiting students from the whole Dasheng, there are no barriers. Not to mention that there are very few women who can come all the way to study. The ones from other places that are about to open the hospital must be
Those who can't catch up are the people near Shangyong. How many of them are willing to send girls to study in the academy for several years?"
Among the people, a 12-year-old girl can already take care of the housework and even help with some work, which is equivalent to half a labor force. Who is willing to send a girl to study if they are not rich and have leisure?
But it is very helpless. The current situation cannot universalize elementary school education for women at all. It can only be done from top to bottom. If there are more women studying, it will naturally spread to the outside world.
In the future, students from Anlan Academy may also open academies in other places to teach more girls.
Everyone frowned. The regent's words were not unreasonable, but they were not foolproof either.
Shangyong is considered a prosperous place in Dasheng. It is true that children from poor families do not have this ability, but there are also many small families and small businessmen from relatively well-off families. These people may be proud to send their daughters to Anlan Academy.
After all, Anlan Academy represents the first-class education of noble girls in the capital. Not to mention these small families, even the unfavored concubines of the powerful and powerful in Shangyong are not qualified to go.
Luo Junyao said calmly: "Don't worry, everyone, Linglong Academy will not be open to these women." Sooner or later, this princess will demolish Linglong Academy! If you want to teach the bride how to educate yourself at home? Do you have to open an academy?
Everyone was speechless for a moment, as it seemed that saying this would not bother them.
But their purpose is not just to prevent girls from poor families and businessmen from enrolling in school.
After being silent for a while, Mrs. An Guogong said: "Princess, please forgive me for talking too much. After all, it is the right way for a woman to be chaste, quiet, gentle, obedient to her husband and raise her children. Why do you teach those who study medicine, business, and agriculture?
"
Luo Junyao raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the point? If you study medicine, you can see patients; if you study business, you can manage the household and accounts and do business; if you study agriculture... no matter how bad you are, you can still tend to the flowers and plants, right?"
Duke Anguo said: "Of course there are servants to do these things. How can our wife do it herself? As for ordinary people's homes, there is no need for it. Not to mention how women do business, the princess detained a girl in the academy to learn how many times.
With years of medical skills, except for being close to the female relatives, who will let her see a doctor? If she can't treat people, what use will her medical skills be? At that time, in a girl's family, if Nvhong can't cook, won't she be harming the girl? "
"Mrs. An Guogong said that." Everyone quickly agreed in unison.
"Although the princess is very enthusiastic, ladies should not learn these things. Small families can't use them, so why bother?"
"Princess, please think twice."
Luo Junyao sat leisurely on the main seat, listening to everyone's advice.
After waiting for a long time, they all talked until their mouths were dry, and then they said quietly: "But, I have already decided."
The atmosphere in the Nuan Pavilion suddenly became tense, and everyone's expressions were not very good.
Mrs. Chengenhou sneered and said: "The princess is still young and vigorous. Not to mention whether we women agree or not, I am afraid that no one in the court would agree! Even if the princess is acting nonsense, she must think about the regent.
Bar?"
Luo Junyao was unreasonable, "The regent is my husband-in-law. I know how to take care of him, so I don't need to worry about the Marquis Cheng'en. After all, he is the son-in-law of the Luo family, not the Zhu family."
"Princess! You!" Mrs. Chengenhou stood up suddenly, her face flushed with anger.
The Zhu family had previously intended to marry Zhu Jin to Xie Yan, and most of the people in Shangyong knew about it. At this time, Luo Junyao mentioned it just to slap the Zhu family in the face.
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "What does Madam Chengenhou want to say?"
Mrs. Chengenhou snorted coldly and said: "If the princess insists on doing this, girls from my Zhu family will never study at Anlan Academy again!"
"I'm sorry, but I respect the Zhu family's decision."
Luo Junyao thought to himself: You must understand the purpose of this princess's post to you in advance. I don't want to spend money to teach a group of girls how to be a perfect wife for others.
